After Joseph Mallord William Turner, RA, British 1775-1851- Hornby Castle, Yorkshire; watercolour on paper, 28.7 x 40.5 cm.: together with William Radcliffe, British 1783-1855- Hornby Castle, after Turner; engraving on paper, 26.5 x 36 cm., two (2), (part unframed). Provenance: (the first) with the Fine Art Society, London. Note: The present watercolour is a version after Turner's watercolour of Hornby Castle in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum [FA.88]. The original watercolour was given to the nation by the industrialist and art collector John Sheepshanks (1787-1863), as part of his large donation to the Victoria & Albert Museum (then the South Kensington Museum) in 1856-7. The works were accessible to art students as educational tools for developing their artistic skill, and it may be that the present work, which closely resembles Turner's original in its atmospheric use of colour, was painted by someone who studied Turner's version first-hand in the South Kensington galleries.
